当静态初始化器试图加载一个在运行时不可用的资源包时，也会发生NoClassDefFoundError，例如受影响的类试图从META-INF目录加载一个属性文件，但不存在。如果你没有捕获NoClassDefFoundError，有时你将无法看到完整的堆栈跟踪;为了克服这个问题，你可以临时为Throwable使用一个catch子句:

try {
    // Statement(s) that cause(s) the affected class to be loaded
} catch (Throwable t) {
    Logger.getLogger("<logger-name>").info("Loading my class went wrong", t);
}

I have had an interesting issue wiht NoClassDefFoundError in JavaEE working with Liberty server. I was using IMS resource adapters and my server.xml had already resource adapter for imsudbJXA.rar. When I added new adapter for imsudbXA.rar, I would start getting this error for instance objects for DLIException, IMSConnectionSpec or SQLInteractionSpec. I could not figure why but I resolved it by creating new server.xml for my work using only imsudbXA.rar. I am sure using multiple resource adapters in server.xml is fine, I just had no time to look into that.

我在项目中使用Spring Framework和Maven解决了这个错误。

类中存在运行时错误。我将一个属性读取为整数，但是当它从属性文件读取值时，它的值是double。

Spring没有提供运行时在哪一行上失败的完整堆栈跟踪。 它只是说NoClassDefFoundError。但是当我作为一个原生Java应用程序执行它时(将它从MVC中取出)，它给出了ExceptionInInitializerError，这是真正的原因，也是我跟踪错误的方式。

@xli的回答让我洞察到我的代码中可能存在的错误。

这是由于您的代码所依赖的类文件在编译时存在，但在运行时没有找到。寻找构建时和运行时类路径的差异。

我也遇到了同样的问题，我的存货积压了好几个小时。

我找到了解决办法。在我的例子中，有一个静态方法因此而定义。JVM不能创建该类的另一个对象。

例如,

private static HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(proxyHost, Integer.valueOf(proxyPort), "http");

下面是演示java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError的代码。具体的解释请看Jared的回答。

NoClassDefFoundErrorDemo.java

public class NoClassDefFoundErrorDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // The following line would throw ExceptionInInitializerError
            SimpleCalculator calculator1 = new SimpleCalculator();
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            System.out.println(t);
        }
        // The following line would cause NoClassDefFoundError
        SimpleCalculator calculator2 = new SimpleCalculator();
    }

}

SimpleCalculator.java

public class SimpleCalculator {
    static int undefined = 1 / 0;
}
